and for the record, i hate the brown granite on my fireplace! crossing my fingers i can convince davis to let me change it….

did i ever tell you i like to decorate with fabric? well i do. i feel like its a fairly inexpensive way to add color and pattern to any room…..and i’m sort of a fabric hoarder…..you can see my fabric collection here.

so that’s what my mantel looks like this holiday season. i love it! it makes me happy.

what colors are you decorating with for the holidays??

Hi! I'm Linda, the craft addict behind Craftaholics Anonymous®, a craft blog. Crafting is cheaper than therapy, right? When I'm not DIYing something, I can be found taxiing around our 4 crazy kids or working out. Or shoe shopping... because you can never have too many shoes! Happy crafting! ♥

Very cute and cheery display! Love it all! I will be using red, black and white this year.
Once I decide on a color scheme I like to gather up some basic decorating items in those colors from throughout my home, (candlesticks, lanterns, baskets, etc) then I add the Christmas decorations to make it all come together. It’s inexpensive that way and that’s always a good thing!

So pretty! I love how bright and cheery it is but you still used classic Christmas colors. I love the shutters too.

Side question – have you ever thought about changing/covering your marble inlay on your fireplace? I have the same thing at my house and I am not sure if it is my style. I am too scared to remove it but I wonder how to change it and do it inexpensively.

Yes, I want to do something with our fireplace!!! {drives me bonkers} We have the same dilemma. Don’t want to take it off in because we’re not sure how the fireplace is designed and afraid we’d ruin the whole thing. And adding something on top of the inlay would make it really thick and stick out. So we’re not sure what to do either! And the cost is an issue too like you mentioned. Sorry I’m not much help!

Pretty mantel decorations… It is so beautiful and different from the usual ones I see on the blog world. Interesting to see how you use small pieces of fabric for decorations. The fabric banner is beautiful.

I can’t see much of the granite, but from here it looks like spiced cocoa with lots of marshmallow cream. ;o) Maybe some non-permanent vinyl (chalkboard, a la The Nester; or dry-erase; or something???), or water-based paint (wash off later), might give you a chance to see what a change would look like.
